Everything was quite satisfactory, I love the device. I have one quibble. I had to phone the company in order to find out when the device was shipped and what the tracking number was. There should have been and automatic email when it was shipped.

Never thought I’d say a $300+ item is better than a free alternative, but I’m saying it now. The CR200 is so much better than the iPhone app.

With the good exchange rate between the US$ and the A$ this is a bargain at A$420 delivered compared to A$699 in the shops in Australia.
Even though I could get the same functionality with an iPod the convenience of a dedicated controller is great for my house.

The Sonos system works perfectly, as expected, right out of the box. I’ve been trying for a long time to manage a digital music collection accross multiple computers/devices, and this solves all the problems. In fact, when combined with a Rhapsody and or Pandora account, this system will change the way you purchase music. No need to buy, when you can simply “rent”, with access to all forms of music, new and old, punk to classical, even foreign language.
The ease of setting up a perfectly synced, multiroom system that performs as advertised is worth the premium price. And the CR200 controller is a must to do some of the complicated searches, read reviews etc… and does so with a beautiful color display and touch screen interface. You can also use an old iphone with a free download app. The push button interface is easy to use, such that this is my daughters new favorite toy..searching for singing cat christmas records and other fun music online. Think of a kid show theme song or album…and you’ve got it in seconds playing throughout the house (or maybe just to the kids’ rooms!)
Can’t recommend enough, including the S5 stand alone unit which is perfect accoustic quality system for bedrooms, bathrooms, office,etc, with no wires or clutter. You will not be dissappointed…

Wow, a neat update to the classic Sonos controller. Nice touch screen interface. Faster, more convenient than the iTouch or iPhone option, but clearly this is costs $$ while the iTouch is free (if you own one). Meets all the standard criteria for Sonos products – easy set up, nice user interface. Touch screen a dream. Appears to have added views compared to iTouch. Found it easier to use Pandora and internet radio than old controller. Nice to have replaceable battery but battery does appear to be special order from Sonos – probably pricey. Recommended if you want an upgrade but clearly a product that will keep the sonos product line current as other competitors introduce music systems. Fully satisfied. Would do a gain.
